Sports is never about
Win loose or Draw
It is the commitment
To part of a half that takes part in it all

It is a bedrock that is layed
Heart Soul and Mind cemented
One track mind determined
Power of the will executed

It teaches you the value of effort
Gets you out of the level of comfort
Winning the title is only the dessert
Victory lies in the integrity exhibited

It teaches you respect
The coach who taught
And the coach who wants you beat
The game that makes you sweat
And those who are better at

It nurtures your will
So strong that victory or defeat
Next morning before sunrise
You're back doing your drill


It encourages to dream
Dream of greatness and glory
There is glory in defeat too
You screen your dream
With the entire world as your audience

Wearing heart on the sleeve
Passion a contagious disease
Like it so much
Then its no more work

Burden on becoming Mature
Lies No more with Age
Sport takes the highway
Appropriate behaviour a lot earlier

It instills camaraderie
Only next to the Army
A feeling of oneness amongst many
Is the greatest gift in Triumph or Fall

Conquest brings confidence
Forfeit teaches humility
Winning & Loosing part of any game
Both qualities inculcated simultaneously

Living the sport
Amongst friends and opponents
Congenial rapport built
In harmony with compatible minds

Loosing your identity
With run of the mill mediocrity
Missing out on regular life
Vacations and Barbecues
Sacrifice advance books Podium space

Winning loosing Sports Paradigm
Never teaches the meaning of quitting
Nobody who gave it all
Regret could never waltz

Congrous with the adversary
Willing to **** during game time
Take in like family after
Only Sport gives the opportunity to prove right this theory
An envy which will remain one

Hand shake after a match
Either side of the countdown
You see God in the stands
Regretting that he isn't a Sportsman
